A pale cape trails behind this hero, worn over a dark shirt whose shoulder pads are molded into the shape of little mushrooms. A black band conceals the area around the eyes, and the hair beneath it falls into a rounded bowl cut.

Personality

The manga reveals almost nothing about how Mushroom thinks or behaves once the work is done, leaving the hero's temperament largely a blank.

History

During an early meeting where Association leadership reviewed conditions across the cities, Mushroom's name surfaced as the officer responsible for H-City, and the filed update simply reported nothing amiss in the area. Later, after Tatsumaki wrenched apart the enemy base and left the Z-City ghost town in ruins, Mushroom joined the crowd of heroes who gathered around a drained Garou to argue over his punishment, a debate cut short when King stepped in.

Mushroom also turned up at the A-City headquarters when Tatsumaki clashed with Apollo in the lower levels, rushing downstairs with the others once the alarm sounded to look into what had happened. A prison-bound monster once admitted having been beaten by this hero, and the knack for putting down weaker creatures alone, combined with shared command of an entire city, marks Mushroom as a capable member the Association counts on.
